Other names mentioned include: Master Pierre Bogart, Jehan Ondart, and J. Gros. For complete transcription and translation of this document see bibliographic file., Burgundian Bastard (cursiva media/libraria) script, and Written in Nancy, Duchy of Lorraine (Lothaire), modern day France in 1475.

Originals par moy" followed by elaborate signature. Purchased by Special Collections, Waldo Library from Mackus Company, Fairlawn Ohio, in July of 2005.
